Fail to compile with gcc5

I was trying to compile GIMX in a debian sid box with gcc5 and it turns out that some functions that are defined as inline do not get linked correctly because of a change in semantics in inline for GCC5 (more details:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/porting_to.html )
Removing the inline declaration or using the old c89 semantics solves the issue

I ran into the same problem while trying to compile the source in Ubuntu 15.10. The default GCC version is 5.2.1.
So after searching I found a temporary solution/fix that will get the software compiled and able to run.
Here it is, so the "not-so-experienced"
(like me) user can enjoy.
Open the file
Makedefs (with nano or any other editor)
Look for these lines:
Code: Select all
CFLAGS += -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -s -O3
CXXFLAGS += -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -s -O3
Replace them with this:
Code: Select all
#Force GNU89 inline semantics
CFLAGS += -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -s -O3 -fgnu89-inline
CXXFLAGS += -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -s -O3
Save the file and compile! (make)

Matlo should consider adding a
./configure script in the future for linux build purposes. Or just porting the code to GCC-5 too.
Kthx!

Thanks for sharing!
I'll port the code to GCC 5 in a few month (when Linux Mint 18 goes out).
